Unleashed H550 Access Point
Quick Setup Guide
This Quick Setup Guide provides step-by-step instrucons on how to set up
your Unleashed H550 Dual Band 802.11ax Mulmedia Wi-Fi Access Point
Wall Switch. Aer compleng the steps described in this guide, you will be
able to access the H550 Access Point Wall Switch and begin providing
wired and wireless network access to users. The rest of this document
refers to the H550 Access Point Wall Switch as the H550.
The Unleashed H550 has many opons:
•It can be mounted on a standard USA- or EU-style single-gang wall
outlet box.
•It can be powered by a customer-supplied IEEE 802.3af- or 802.3at, or
IEEE 802.3bt-compliant PoE switch or injector, or can be powered by an
oponal customer-ordered DC power adapter.
•It has side slots for one or two bypass cables. The mounng bracket has
locang hooks to keep the bypass cables aligned with the slots when
aaching the H550 to the mounng base.
•It can have a 3W customer-supplied USB device plugged in. The USB
device is very dicult to remove aer the H550 is aached to the
mounng base.
About Peripheral Devices
The H550 can supply power to USB devices and PoE-powered devices, and
the power supplied depends on the PoE power supplied to the H550.
•The USB port can supply power up to a maximum of 3W. The port is
intended for customer-specic USB peripherals.
•The LAN4 + PoE Out port is intended for PoE-powered peripheral
devices such as IP telephones.

Step 3: Aaching the Mounng Bracket to a Wall
Outlet Box
1. Use either the original wall outlet box screws or the factory-supplied
1-inch Phillips pan head machine screws to aach the H550 mounng
bracket to a single-gang wall outlet box.
NOTE: The H550 mounng bracket has four hooks that face up.
Make sure that the hooks are facing up when aaching the
mounng bracket to the wall outlet box.
FIGURE 3 Mounng Bracket
2. Pull the LAN uplink Ethernet cable for the H550 through the wall
outlet box.
3. If you are powering the H550 with a customer-ordered 48V DC power
adapter, ensure that the power cable is able to reach the DC in port
without obstrucng the AP and prevenng the AP from mounng
ush with the wall bracket.
4. When you have extra bypass cables (usually one or two) that are to
bypass the H550, pull them through the wall outlet box.
NOTE: The bypass cables can be Ethernet, coaxial, or any other
type of cable, as required.
Drape the bypass cables across one or both of the upper hooks on
either side or both sides of the mounng bracket.
Step 4: Aaching the H550 to the Mounng
Bracket
1. Make sure that the mounng bracket is securely fastened as
described in Step 3: Aaching the Mounng Bracket to a Wall Outlet
Box on page 2.
2. If you have bypass cables (usually one or two, if any), make sure that
they are draped across one or both of the two upper hooks on the
mounng bracket.
FIGURE 4 Aaching the H550 to the Mounng Bracket
3. If you are installing a customer-supplied USB device (such as a BLE
beacon), then plug it securely into the USB jack on the boom of the
H550.
4. Pull the uplink Ethernet cable from your LAN through the outlet box,
and plug it into the back of the H550.
5. The mounng bracket has two lower hooks that t into slots on the
boom of the H550. Rest the boom of the H550 on the lower hooks,
and lt the H550 unl it is up against the mounng bracket.
NOTE: Any oponal bypass cables should slide smoothly into the
slots on the sides of the H550.
6. Use a T10 Torx driver to screw the factory-supplied Torx at head
machine screws through the H550 screw holes into the threaded
inserts on the sides of the mounng bracket.
7. Aer the H550 has powered on, depending on the power mode,
either the USB power or PoE Out may be disabled.
Step 5: Congure Your Unleashed Network_H550
Unleashed can be deployed using either a Mobile App, available for both
iOS and Android, or using your PC’s web browser. Refer to the relevant
secon depending on which method you prefer to use:
•Step 5a: Setup Using the Unleashed Mobile App on page 3.

•Step 5b: Setup Using a Web Browser on page 3.
Setup Using the Unleashed Mobile App
To perform setup using the Unleashed Mobile App, download the iOS or
Android app from the app store.
1. As soon as the Unleashed AP is powered on and connected to the
local network, it boots up and begins broadcasng a temporary
unencrypted WLAN named “Congure.Me-[xxxxxx]” from both radios.
2. Using your client’s Wi-Fi connecon sengs, select and associate to
the “Congure.Me-[xxxxxx]” WLAN.
3. Launch the app, and follow the on-screen instrucons to congure
your Unleashed network(s).

FIGURE 6 Conguring Unleashed from the Mobile App
Setup Using a Web Browser
1. As soon as the Unleashed AP is powered on and connected to the
local network, it boots up and begins broadcasng a temporary
unencrypted WLAN named “Congure.Me-[xxxxxx]” from both radios.
2. Using your client’s Wi-Fi connecon sengs, select and associate to
the “Congure.Me-[xxxxxx]” WLAN.
3. Launch a web browser and enter the following into the browser’s URL
bar: unleashed.ruckuswireless.com, and press Enter.
4. You will be redirected to the Setup Wizard. Complete the steps in the
Setup Wizard and click Finish.
FIGURE 7 Complete the Setup Wizard to set up your Unleashed
network
5. Once the Setup Wizard is nished, a “Conguring system sengs and
reboong” progress screen appears. Wait unl the process is
complete.
6. Connect to the WLAN that you congured in the Setup Wizard, and
click OK to reconnect. You will be redirected to the Unleashed login
screen.
7. Enter your Admin Name and Password to login.
FIGURE 8 The Login page
8. Upon successful login you will be presented with the Unleashed
Dashboard, which displays an overview of your Ruckus Unleashed
network.
Step 6: Customize Your Wireless LANs
Once the Unleashed Master AP has been inialized, you can ne-tune the
sengs of your rst WLAN (that you created during the setup wizard), and
create any addional WLANs needed prior to aaching addional
Unleashed member APs. Then, when you deploy addional member APs in
whatever order you prefer, they will automacally retrieve all WLAN
conguraon sengs (and any other sengs you have congured) from
the Unleashed Master AP.
1. From the dashboard, click anywhere in the WiFi Networks secon to
expand the display of your deployed WLANs.
2. On the le side of the screen, select the WLAN box for the WLAN you
would like to congure, and click the Edit buon to edit the
conguraon; or click Create to create a new WLAN.
3. If you made any changes to the original WLAN, you will be
disconnected and will need to reconnect once the changes have been
deployed on the AP radios.
Congratulaons! Your Unleashed network is now congured and ready for
use. You may now proceed to Step 7: Deploying Addional Unleashed
Access Points on page 3.
Step 7: Deploying Addional Unleashed Access
Points
Deploying addional Unleashed member APs is simply a maer of
connecng them to the same Layer 2 network (subnet) and providing
power. They will discover the Unleashed Master and join automacally. No
addional steps are necessary.
Step 8: Tesng the H550 Operaon
Aer a short pause to re-establish the Internet connecon, you can test
the H550.
1. Using any wireless-enabled PC or mobile device, search for and select
the wireless network you previously congured.
2. If you can connect, open a browser and navigate to any public
website.
3. Using any wired PC or other device and an Ethernet cable, plug into
an Ethernet port on the boom of the H550.
4. Open a browser and navigate to any public website.
5. Repeat Step 3 and Step 4 in this procedure for the other Ethernet
ports on the boom of the H550.
6. Verify that all connected PoE-powered devices and USB devices are
working correctly.
Congratulaons! Your H550 is acve and ready for use.
